To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JACOB `Aucus'r Boos, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Mount Vernon, Ain the county of Westchester and State of New `York, haveiinvented a new `and Improved Container, of

which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention relates to receptacles for containingand discharging semi-solid, adhesive or pasty substances, and its Object is to provide a new and improved container arranged to keep the container normally hermetically` sealed when not inuse to revent the substance from drying and har ening, and when in use to discharge the contents in the form of a ribbonor a stream.

For the purpose mentioned use is made of a receptacle provided with a discharge opening, a revoluble valve controlling the said opening to alternately open and close the same on each plunger for moving the contents of the receptacle toward the said discharge o ening, and a screw rod screwing in the sai plunger and centrally attached to the said valve to rotate with the latter.

A` practical embodiment `of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a` part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference `indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of thecontainer; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same; Fig. Slis a cross section ofthe same on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; -and Fig. 4 is a sectional side elevation of a `modified form of the container. y

The bod A of the receptacle may be of anysuitab e shape, size and material,`pref erably, however, cylindrical,` and the body, asty4 is adapted to contain a semi-solid or a substance B, the ends A and A2 of the ody A permanently closing the body so as to confine' the substance B therein. The end A2 is preferably provided with a flange A", soldered or otherwise secured to theouter face of the body A, and from the 'end A? extends centrally a neck A4 provided in its side wall witha discharge opening A5. On the neck A4 is mounted toiturn a valve C in the form of a capvprovided on its peri heral face with diametrically and outwar ly-extending projections C adapted to be taken hold of by the operator `for turnin the valve C onthe neck A; Ascrew rodi exrevolution of thevalve, a p.

tends centrally within the body 'K and one end is journaled in the end A ofthe body A, and a transverse pin D extends through the terminal of the screw rod `D at the end A and engages a washer E abutting against the outer face of the end A so as to'hold the screw rod D against longitudinal movement in the body A but to allow the screw rod to turn in the end A. The other end of the screw rod D extends centrally through thevalve C and the outer end of the screw rod at the valve C is provided with a pin D2 enga "ng a retaining groove C2 formed in the ace of the valve C, so that the screw rod D turns with the valve C when the latter is turned by the operator. Biy mounting the screw rod D in the bottom o the receptacle and the cap, as above described, the cap is held on the neck of the receptacle without any other securing means.

The side wall of the valve C-is provided with an opening Ca adapted to move into and out of register with the dischar e openicng A5 in the neck A* on turning t e Valve The screw rod D screws in the threaded top F of a plunger `F. mounted to travel in the i body A from the end A` toward the other end A2, and the said plunger F is preferably provided at its` forward face with a washer F I The plunger and the washer are provided with diametricallr7 opposite notches F engaging guideways arranged lengthwise on the inner surface ofthe body Al` Thus by the arrangement described the plunger F is free to travel in the body A on turning the screw rod D and is held against turnin'g b the guideways G.

It will e noticed that when it is desired to use the container for discharging the contents B thereof, it is onl necessary for the operator to turn the va ve C, whereby the screw rod D is turned, and the plunger F is moved toward the end A2, thus exerting a pressure on the contents B. In rotating the valve C the opening Cs thereof finally moves into register with the discharge opening1 A5,

' formonto a desired surface.

understood that when the openin *C3 moves out of register with the opening 5 then the substance B is cut oif and the receptacle is hermetically closed until the opening C8 again moves in register with the opening A4 on the next or further turning of the valve C. It will be noticed that the ribbon is cut off `from the material Bl contained in the body A as soon as the opening C3 moves out of register with the opening A5, and the container can now be laid away until it is again desired to usethe same for discharging an other portion of the contents B in ribbon It isnnderstood that .the substance B can be compressed during the time the opening C3 moves from the closed position back into registering position with the openingAs on lturning the valve C, and consequently when the opening C3 moves into register with thel opening A5 the substance B is' under suiicient pressure to readily pass out of the container in the form'of a ribbon.

By connecting the screw rod D with the fixed end A and the'valve C inthe manner described, the valve C is held in position on the 4neck A" so that the opening C3 moves into proper register with the opening Aes on turningthe valve C, as previously explained.

The' receptacle A can be readily filled or `refilled through the neck A4 at the time 'the valve C is removed, it being understood that on withdrawing `the pin D2 the valve can be readily removed from the neck A4 to open the receptacle. The

plunger F is at the ttom A` when filling the ,.receptacle. After the receptacle'fis filledthe valve C is replaced on the neck A* and the pin D? is inserted in the screw rod-D at 'the groove C2 'to connect the valve C with the screw rod D.

In `the modified form shown in Fig. .4, the n eck A is closedat the end by acap H ttmg onto the neck A", and over .thecap fits the revoluble valve I secured to theend` of the screw rod D3 b a pin D, the'same as` above described relative to the valve`C and screw rod D. The cap H and the valve I are provided'with apertures- H 'and I adapted to move into and out `of register withl each other onturnin the valve I on the cap H. The action of t is container is the same as above described with the exception that the contents are discharged -from the end of the valve instead of from the sidethereof.

Having tuus describedmy` invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure'by Letters 1. A container, comprising a receptacle having its wall projecting below the bottom thereof and provided at its upper end `with a neck having an openingtherein and with guideways on its inner face, a caplmounted to turn on the neck andprovided with a ,transversegrooveinitsvupper face and with an opening adapted to register with the opening oiP the neck, a plunger having pe ripheral'notches receiving `the guideways and a threaded opening, `a screw rod workingin the threaded opening of the plunger and having its endsapertured and projecting through the cap and bottom of the receptacle, and' pins in `the apertures of the screw rod, the pin in the upper end of the screw rod fitting in the groove of the cap.

2. A. container comprising a receptacle provided at its upper end with a neck having an opening therein, and with longitudinally extending guideway's on its vinner face,

a cap mounted to turn on the neck and have ing an opening adapted to register with the opening of the neck of thereceptacle and provided with a transverse groove in its upr perl face, a. plunger having peripheral notches receivlng` the guideways and a the .ppeningfffof the plungeriand having one end mounted to'turn in and held from 1onthreaded opening, a screwy rod screwing in 1 gitudinal movement in saidbottomand bavi mg its other end provided with an opening and extending through `the ca and a .pinin the openingl of the screw `ro and lymgin the groove of the cap. Y In testimony whereof I have signed` my name to this specicationzin the y presence of.
